Tom goes into town with Margot and blows their 20 pounds on a loom. He also encourages Margot to buy a spinning wheel which she has spotted in the window of an antique shop. Never a shrinking violet, Tom has hopes of borrowing it in the future for his own use.
However, when the spinning wheel is delivered it is discovered that it is for show only; in fact it is also a music box in disguise, much to Tom's disgust and Margot's and Jerry's amusement. | | Guest Stars: Milton Johns as Antique shop dealer | | | |
| 26 :04x05 - Suit Yourself (May/08/1977) | The Goods are well on their way with spinning and weaving their own cloth from lambswool. They have even discovered how to die the wool using nettles, walnuts and onion skins.
Andrew (Sir) suddenly announces that he is retiring from JJM's. He invites Margot and Jerry and his rivals for the Managing Directorship, Snetterton and Dalby, out for dinner where a good deal of rivalry, one-upmanship and backstabbing occurs.

It is up to Tom and Barbara to save the day. | | Guest Stars: Patricia Driscoll as Mrs. Dalby, Terence Conoley as Dalby, Philip Madoc as Snetterton, Reginald Marsh as Andrew or 'Sir'. | | | |

Margot considers 'Sweet Charity' to be vulgar and beneath contempt, especially after she has viewed the costumes for the production.
Tom has been eyeing off the vacant neighbouring house's oil tank, and is tempted to syphon it off so that he can exchange the oil for some straw for the pigs. When Barbara points out that this would be dishonest he reluctantly reconsiders.
Eventually he decides to telephone Mrs. Weaver, the former owner of the property, to ask for permission for the oil. Also acting according to her principles, Margot decides not to play the lead in 'Sweet Charity'. | | | |
| 28 :04x07 - Anniversary (May/22/1977) | Margot and Jerry are on tenterhooks as they wait for Andrew's decision regarding the managing directorship of JJM.

But yet another challenge to their lifestyle is waiting for them, one which will challenge both of them in their belief that their life really is the 'good' life. | | Guest Stars: Reginald Marsh as Andrew or 'Sir' | | | |
| 29 :04x08 - Silly, But It's Fun (Dec/27/1977) | It is Christmas and the Goods plan a simple celebration in contrast to Margo and Jerry who have ordered a van full of Christmas goodies, including a Christmas tree which falls short by 6 inches of the size required by the exacting Margo Leadbetter.

| When I'm 65 (1978) | Jerry wants to take out more insurance for when he retires, but a doctor's examination reveals that he is not as fit as he had thought he was. He and Margot go on a health kick, purchasing all sorts of gym equipment and jogging around Surbiton.
